ENCI Quarry
Visitors discovering the ENCI Quarry for the first time are often momentarily speechless. The quarry was started in 1926 as a site for, among other things, extracting limestone to produce cement. In 2019, the production of the adjacent cement factory was permanently shut down, after which in 2010, through the cooperation of the Municipality of Maastricht, Province of Limburg and Natuurmonumenten, an area for recreation was created. Many places you are only allowed to visit with the forest ranger (highly recommended!), but on your own you can nevertheless discover a crazy piece of Maastricht nature.
